SKP to OBJ
Please find below the list of our other useful resources related to SKP and OBJ interoperability and exchange that could help you with the SKP to OBJ conversion.
- Convert Sketchup SKP to OBJ Alias file
- STEP file converter to mesh file formats

- Convert 3D mesh files in the batch mode
SKP SketchUp File
SKP (SketchUp) file format for a long period of time was maintained by Google, but currently it is actively developed by Trimble company. The SKP file allows to store named mesh groups with assigned transparent color or a surface material with a texture image. Please note however that Win32 build is not supported anymore from the SKP file version 16, therefore using Win64 build is recommended to work with the most recent SketchUp models. Using our Autoconverter software you can save SKP files to any file version you require, from the early SKP version 3 to the recent 2022.
OBJ File
OBJ (Alias Wavefront Object) is a text-based file format for 3D geometry objects which is very popular and widely supported by many 3D software programs. The OBJ file format is capable of storing named group objects, surface materials with transparent colors and texture images, and quads or triangles as geometry primitives. However, our Autoconverter software will simplify every OBJ quad primitive with two triangles as only triangular facets are supported during the OBJ file conversion. It's important to mention that due to a textual format OBJ files will always be much bigger than the binary files, e.g. 3DS (3D Studio) or SKP (SketchUp).
